Troll would be awesome to get. Anyone who hasn't read the Thunderbolts run where they were operating out of the Raft owes it to themselves to give it a look. Would love to see Troll and Centurius get made to complement the other figures we have from that era, plus a classic Techno with swappable heads for multiple looks.
I would definitely pick up a figure of Mad Jim Jaspers - though I'd much rather have some of his creations, the Crazy Gang.
Can I have Killer Shrike yesterday, please? It's always been one of my favorite designs. I'm a pass on Isca, as I'm unfamiliar with the character, and a pass on all the weekend offerings.
OK - quick weekend catch up
686 - Birdy, T-Rex or Rex:
I had to jog the old memory banks to remember who Birdy was and how she fit in. I wouldn’t say she’s important to me and I don’t particularly care if she gets a figure, and I’m starting to regret my “All in on Mutants” stance on this list a little - but if she were made in the line I’d probably buy her.
T-Rex… I’ll admit that the humanoid character that was briefly with the Marauders apparently from Earth 58163 looks cool and would make a nifty action figure. I’d probably buy it even if having no recollection of his appearances in Uncanny X-Men. On the other hand the symbiote infected Tyrannnosaur seems like a more likely bet to get an action figure since they already have a toy of a T-Rex in a Spidey costume. That’s just an easy repaint… though I’d try to wait for some kind of sale before I committed to having it.
I can’t even find references to identify that last guy you pictured so that would be an easy skip. Absolutely no context for who that weirdo is.
687 - Mad Jim Jaspers
Oof - not a fan of the character particularly, I know he started in Captain Britain's British book before being brought in to Excalibur. It’s not a figure I need in my collection – but I’ll admit I’d probably buy the figure if it got made, especially in that red checked suit… in part just because of the intricate paint job.
Archive 39 – Troll
Big YES to Troll. Would love a figure of her on my shelf and I hope Hasbro finds a way to include her eventually.
688 - Isca the Unbeaten:
Again I say… who? I didn’t read a lot of the Arakko/Okkara story in X-Men and don’t have any connection to the mutants created as part of that storyline. I feel like there are plenty of characters from those books that could get made in the line, and if that happens maybe I’ll revisit the books. But this isn’t someone I care about.
Archive 40 - Killer Shrike
Another fun classic villain. He started out in Hulk but appeared all over the place back in the day. I remember him best from his stint as the baddy in a Marvel Team-Up book with the Beast as the guest star and then in the last issue of Spider-Woman. But he’s also showed up in Moon Knight, Captain America, various Spidey books, even a couple of issues of Black Panther. So yes to Killer Shrike for me.
Isca is the most interesting of the Arakki mutants for her power set so I'd pick her up, but she suffers from too many characters introduced at once so hard to attach to any of them syndrome. Yes to Killer Shrike.
Yes to Isca. I'd take a few of the Arakki mutants.
Isca the Unknown… er, Unbeaten… I have to echo “Who?” No connection to the character, and the design seems generic. Pass.
Killer Shrike… how is it we’re still waiting on this character? He should’ve been made by now. He’d be a purchase for me.
Isca is a pass, but Killer Shrike is a HUGE YES!!
I don't know Isca, but she looks cool. 😀 Killer Shrike on the other hand is a definite yes. <3
Nothing Krakoa or Arakko oriented for me thanks.
Isca the Unpurchased for me.
Killer Shrike would be a wait for a sale. I want him, but not $25+ want him.
Wow. Can't believe how far behind Iam.
After going through all I've missed, Only 2 stand out to me.
White Tiger. I have had a custom planned for him forever.
Ferocia - I would prefer her in white fur and pink like that cover, even though it seems she is mostly shown in gray with purple. She would make a great companion to Wendigo.... Also, a Straight repaint for Wolfsbane. This has to happen, throwing Feral in there as well, right?
Lot's of other figures I would probably consider getting but wouldn't be there in line on day one.
Sorry I haven’t been about in a while so missed this - it was actually a nice surprise to see your notes got garbled and you put this Rex dude, I really liked that character design by Skroce, would happily have a figure of him but it was actually not him I suggested but T-Ray from the Deadpool books
I'd be a pass on both MCU H.E. and A-Bomb. Not sure about civilian Rick Jones. I'd probably pick him up and slap some nega bands on him.
